Large displacement.
When this option is checked, the program uses nonlinear large displacement
formulation
to solve the problem. A nonlinear solution takes more time and resources
than a linear solution but gives more accurate solution. Large displacement
formulation is used by default. Large
displacement formulation is automatically used when a nonlinear (von
Mises) material model is used in the model even if this option
is not checked.
The displacement meant here
refers to the flexural displacement incurred by the body. It does not
include the rigid body motion.
To specify linear/nonlinear solution:
In the Simulation study tree, right-click the
study icon and select Properties.
In the Drop Test
dialog box, you can:
Clear the Large
displacement option to specify a linear solution (small displacement).
-or-
Check Large
displacement to specify a nonlinear solution.
Click OK.
